This is an anti-psychotropic drug group. Do you feel like you have just woken up from a fog in which your mind crackles, you can't remember a thing, your thinking is totally disorganized and you have alienated and angered nearly everyone you love thanks to your insane behavior? Or have you begun drinking alcohol uncontrollably even though you never drank much at all before? Or have you woken up to realize that you have actually done something that absolutely horrifies you - something you would only do in your worst imaginable nightmare?

Or maybe a loved one has stopped loving you, took no interest in sex or relationships and has become a lethargic shadow of themselves. Or they have suddenly, and completely out of character, taken their own life or someone else's life.

It most likely is a SSRI Medication!

I am Ann Blake-Tracy, the originator and admin for these group forums.

I have specialized in antidepressants for 25 years and head the International Coalition for Drug Awareness (www.drugawareness.org), the oldest group organization in existence which has been warning and educating about antidepressants since the mid 90's and which you are also invited to join.

We have also built a database of documented cases involving antidepressants - most of those criminal in nature as those are reported - and it can be found along with almost every school shooting incident there has been at www.ssristories.NET

I also have been testifying as an expert witness in these cases for 23 years now and have written a large book on the effects of these drugs. I feel that in order to heal from the effects you first need to know how they have produced the damage. So that you are more aware of who I am and what I do I will include a link to my bio here: http://www.drugawareness.org/mission/board/

NO SSRI ANTIDEPRESSANT SHOULD BE ON THE MARKET TODAY -MANUFACTURERS STUDIES SHOW THEY DO NOT WORK ANY BETTER THAN PLACEBO!!! I remain continuously amazed how few know so little about what we have already learned over the past almost three decades about antidepressants...it is as if the news was never even released! PLEASE read this blog which I put out in 2008 that will clearly explain why....

News Flash Two Decades Too Late – Antidepressants Do Not Work!
Now that the studies on antidepressants that were kept from those who needed to know have been reviewed the conclusion is they work no better than placebo - anyone familiar with my work surprised by this?...

Alternatives & SupplementsListed are alternative treatments to help either BEFORE ever going on an antidepressant/atypical antipsychotic, DURING withdrawal of an antidepressant/atypical antipsychotic or AFTER being on antidepressants/atypical antipsychotic to help you get through withdrawal and to rebuild a healthy brain. I have spent several decades looking for various natural non-toxic answers to help patients rebuild their health after the damage caused by these drugs.
Although this list does not mention the standard suggestions such as chiropractic, yoga, and acupuncture, all of which are mentioned in my CD on safe withdrawal, as proven to be very beneficial in withdrawal and rebuilding and should also be utilized as well.
